Curriculum Vitae

I received my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tuzla in 2015 and my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the Technical University of Munich in 2018. I received a DAAD scholarship for my master's studies. From 2018 I was a PhD student at the University of Freiburg (first external-industrial, then internal) under the supervision of Prof. Moritz Diehl. Until October 2021, I was an industrial PhD student at Siemens Technology in the research group Autonomous Systems and Control. Together with my co-authors, I received the IEEE Control Systems Letters Outstanding Paper Award for 2022. I successfully defended my PhD thesis (summa cum laude) in November 2023. My PhD thesis can be found here.

 

Research Interest 

Currently, I am interested in developing numerical methods for optimal control of hybrid and nonsmooth dynamical systems, including ODEs with discontinuous vector fields (Filippov systems, switched systems, dynamic complementarity systems, and similar) and systems with state jumps (mainly systems from nonsmooth mechanics).

For an overview see talks about time-freezing and FESD

Teaching

Winter semester 2023\2024
Summer semester 2023 

Software

The implementation of all of my methods and reformulations are publicly available in the open-source packages nosnoc and nosnoc_py.

Additional Information

If you are a student of engineering, mathematics, or similar, and you are interested in a master's thesis that aligns with my research interests, don’t hesitate to contact me. If you are from the industry and interested in applying our algorithms in your use cases feel free to contact me. I am always looking for interesting academic or/and application-oriented collaborations.
